Opinion

majority opinion

Per Curiam.

We affirm essentially for the reasons stated in the Appellate Division opinion, reported at 166 N. J. Super. 254 (1978). Only under limited circumstances, not here pertinent, may a municipal expenditure be made prior to an appropriation. See, e. g., Home Owners Construction Co. v. Borough of Glen Rock, 34 N. J. 305, 315-316 (1961); Essex Cty. Bd. of Taxation v. City of Newark, 73 N. J. 69, 74 (1977). Por affirmance — Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Mountain, Sullivan, Pashman, Clifford, Schreiber and Handler — 7.

For reversal — Fone.
